Do I need a Prescription for Compression socks?
Non-Prescription Compression
Yes, you can buy compression stockings without a prescription (although a prescription is highly recommended).
15-20 mmHg stockings are often worn for well-being purposes. So, even if you do not have a predisposition or if you want to take preventative measure in your leg health compression socks and stockings can be worn if you feel comfortable in them. They improve circulation, alleviate symptoms such as heavy legs, and can improve the overall quality of your life.
Medical Prescription Compression
Visit your physician, if you are experiencing pain, swelling, varicose or spider veins, or any other leg symptoms as these may be signs of a venous disorder. Your physician may refer you to a specialist for venous diseases, a phlebologist, who will do a detailed examination of your situation.
Does my Insurance Cover Compression Socks?
In most cases, medical insurance plans cover 2 pairs of medically-prescribed compression socks and/or stockings every 6 – 12 months, depending on your plan. We recommend that you contact your insurance provider prior to your appointment to find out what coverages you have for compression socks, stocking, garments and accessories. At Wilde Beauty, we offer 20-30 mmHg compression level and up! For individuals wanting every day wear, or requiring less compression, we also offer well-being socks (15-20 mmHg) with less compression.
